List of post:

Hello,

I notice that the Bitcoin database is stored sequentially in blk*.dat files, with an average size between 128 to 134MB. I would like to know how this average size is determined and if there are any tests that demonstrate this size is the most efficient.

Regards.
Numerous variables, such as the volume of transactions, block size, and data storage needs, affect the size of the Bitcoin blockchain database, which houses all transaction records, but it keeps growing as new transactions are added to the network. And also size is subjected to change and may have changed from my previous update.

Since efficiency varies depending on the situation, there are no certain tests that show the size of the Bitcoin database to be the most efficient. In contrast, Bitcoin's database size is frequently found to be more efficient than that of conventional banking systems when it comes to specific tasks like transaction processing and verification.

1. blk*.dat files and Bitcoin blockchain are 2 different thing. blk*.dat files refer to how Bitcoin Core software store Bitcoin blockchain data, where each full node software could store Bitcoin blockchain data differently.
2. It doesn't answer why each blk*.dat files have size with average size between 128 to 134MB.
3. While it's possible to store arbitrary data on Bitcoin, it's not designed as data storage.
4. There's no strong correlation between database size and transaction processing/verification.

Does anyone have a list of cloud storage services that will accept BTC? which one is the best? I think someone had a non KYC list which had some.

I have found Koofr but I want to see some more to compare prices. Someone mentioned Sync but it requires KYC or at least when paying they ask for all details.

Also, what happens to your files if you forget to pay? they delete them or they keep them? I have never used this.
Although I believe it was extremely irresponsible of you to forget to pay for what was delivered to you, when someone does not pay, their account or file may be disabled or they may not receive the thing they purchased. Additionally, you must carefully follow all instructions when making a purchase to avoid losing money or having your account or file blacklisted.

1. Cloud storage usually doesn't lock your file immediately if you stop paying them. Here are some relevant webpage i found,
2. User shinosuke ask question in example scenario, but it was responded as if user shinosuke actually forget to pay.
